1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:20,280
Plato talks about it being an Egyptian story. The Egyptians themselves tell Plato, they

2
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:25,480
say, you Greeks don't even know your own history. Your country's a lot older than you even know.

3
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:30,320
He tells him the story of Atlantis. The idea that Atlantis was somehow in the Atlantic,

4
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:41,080
this is a sonar photograph that was taken by a robotic sub off of Cuba, 1998, supposedly of

5
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:49,920
city streets, of pyramids, 2,000 feet below the Caribbean Ocean off the west part of Cuba. Also

6
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:56,480
right around that area in the Bahamas is the famous Bimini Wall, a giant megaliths underwater,

7
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:08,000
possibly man-made or maybe natural. There's over 200 known sunken cities in the Mediterranean,

8
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:14,200
including two cities that have been found off of Alexandria, 35 kilometers out into the

9
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:21,040
Mediterranean. This is what some of these guys look like around Tiwanaku. He looks very American

10
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:28,960
Indian. He's got a piercing here. He's wearing a turban. This is a pont. These guys are from

11
00:01:28,960 --> 00:01:35,280
Tiwanaku too. Look at this guy down here. He looks very Chinese, very Oriental. This guy's

12
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:41,520
from Tiwanaku as well. He looks like he's a Phoenician guy or something. He's got a big beard

13
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:47,000
and a mustache. American Indians do not have facial hair. They don't shave. They don't grow

14
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:56,280
mustaches. They don't grow beards. As you go down to the coast in South America, Peru, you then find

15
00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:04,680
a lot of these weird skulls. They're at Tiwanaku too. Huge, huge dolocephalus, cranial deformation,

16
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:12,480
as they call it. I often call them coneheads. In my new book on mystery of the Olmecs, I have a

17
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:20,360
whole section about this. These guys, these ones in Peru particularly, they have doubled or

18
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:30,600
tripled their cranium and their brain inside is also twice as large as modern humans. This guy

19
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:37,040
here too with this huge, weird skull. Not the kind of guys you want to meet in a dark alley.

20
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:47,600
Also in Peru, you have guys like this. He's been tree-panned and he's had a gold plate put in his

21
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:57,280
head after some kind of brain surgery. He survived, went on to live for years. His skull then

22
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:04,360
healed and formed around this gold plate that they put in his head. This skull too, and we don't

23
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:14,560
know if this happened before or after his death, but he got a set of crystal teeth. Here's the

24
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:20,760
famous crystal skull. We were looking at it before from, this is the Anna Mitchell Hedges one with

25
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:27,240
the movable jaw stone and stuff like that. The making of crystal skulls is very difficult. That

26
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:34,440
the Mayans and other people could carve really quartz crystal, you need like diamond tools,

27
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:49,640
diamond drills, diamond saws and things like that to work on these things. You have also more skulls

28
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:58,440
here. This one's also, this was in Mexico here. Some of these guys too, they have, they often were

29
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:03,800
thought to have red hair and you see red haired skulls in Peru. This guy's wearing a red turban.

30
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:11,160
This is a skull from Peru. He's a red haired guy. You might think maybe Vikings or somebody like

31
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:19,240
that were headed into Peru. Right along the coast of Peru near Paracas is this the candlestick of

32
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:26,000
the Andes it's called. Can really only be seen from the ocean. It's like some huge naval marker

33
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:31,800
for sailors and you're coming down the coast of Peru and you see this thing and then you have an

34
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:38,200
idea, okay, this is where we need to dock. Also in this area, and this is the area these giant weird

35
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:46,080
deformed skulls and stuff too, you have an Osca plane and you want to fly over this. You can't

36
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:51,360
really see these things unless you're flying in the air. There's hummingbirds, there's all kinds

37
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:56,960
of lines. Some of these lines go for hundreds of miles straight through the Andes up towards

38
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:03,280
Tijuanaco. This one here, there's like hummingbirds and things like that etched into the ground.

39
00:05:03,280 --> 00:05:12,360
Weird trapezoids just sort of going here. Lines intersecting willy-nilly. I mean, what's it all

40
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:17,160
about? I mean, they're trying to figure it out. There must be a lot of different things superimposed

41
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:23,440
on each other. They look for astronomical and astrological alignments, things like that, and

42
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:27,840
they find some, but it really just doesn't explain all the stuff they're doing there. It's still a

43
00:05:27,840 --> 00:05:37,760
mystery. My latest book has been about the Olmecs and I, more and more that I researched the Olmecs,

44
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:45,960
more mysterious. They too had the deformed skulls. They would do this conehead thing and elongate

45
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:54,320
their heads. This is what these Olmec guys look like. Like this. They have these elongated skulls,

46
00:05:54,320 --> 00:06:03,360
weird eyes, a bunch of oddball characters. This one too, this is in the Yucatan, this skull. This

47
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:09,800
guy's actually had his whole face flattened and widened. Now we don't know why they did this. It

48
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:21,400
had to do with the aristocracy. We do know that as children, young babies, before the plates on

49
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:26,240
their heads fuse when they're about two years old, you can start to shape the skull. Apparently,

50
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:33,280
this is what they did. We don't know if they were imitating other people they saw. That's one theory.

51
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:39,440
They were imitating extraterrestrials or something like that. They wanted to double the capacity of

52
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:46,440
their brain. They wanted to look taller. It was some kind of elitist thing too, where it was the

53
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:54,360
aristocracy who looked like this. The Olmecs weren't even known until really the early 1940s,

54
00:06:54,360 --> 00:07:01,600
and that they started finding these giant basalt heads. They weigh about 20 tons. They would find

55
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:10,600
them in the oil exploration areas of the Atlantic coast. Huge, huge basalt heads just in swamps and

56
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:17,200
things like that. Bulldozers would uncover them. One of the things about the colossal heads,

57
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:24,280
as these guys are called, is that they look really African. They're wearing helmets or turbans. They

58
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:29,840
have the wide nose and the thick lips. They look like some Nigerian rugby players or something like

59
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:37,920
that. They find these too in the Pacific coast. They find them in Guatemala. Olmec artifacts have

60
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:43,840
been found all the way down to Costa Rica and Panama and well up the Pacific coast as well.

61
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:52,920
Some of the Olmec heads were completely buried in these areas, and then people were walking

62
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:57,600
across this one. There was a little trail, and finally people noticed a nose and stuff like that,

63
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:03,680
and then archaeologists began to dig it out. Here's that head now at one of the museums in

64
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:15,240
Jalapa. But you see how, in this case, very, very African looking guys. This guy too, this is how

65
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:21,600
they find them, these giant, giant weird heads. This is made out of basalt as well, which is extremely

66
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:31,640
hard to carve. Also, at some of these Olmec cities, the LaVenta, very, very good sewage and water

67
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:43,040
systems. These cities were like pre-planned cities, extremely well made. And the whole Olmec area,

68
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:49,120
really, is what they call the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. This area right down in here, although the Olmecs

69
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:55,000
were up the Pacific coast, they were down into Guatemala and El Salvador, even farther south. But

70
00:08:55,000 --> 00:09:00,480
this is the area of the Olmecs. It's called the Isthmus of Tehuantepec in the very southern part of

71
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:07,840
Mexico. And it's the narrowest part of Mexico between the Pacific and the Atlantic Oceans. And in fact,

72
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:15,080
when they were first trying to build something like the Panama Canal, there were three places that

73
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:19,520
they wanted to do it. One was here, at the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, and the other one was in Nicaragua,

74
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:24,520
and the third was in Panama, where they did build the canal. What the Mexican government did instead

75
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:29,080
of building a canal across here, was they built a railroad to connect these areas. But it's

76
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:36,280
interesting here that the Olmecs, this was their area. Those colossal heads are in this Atlantic

77
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:45,360
area. But it's thought that the Olmecs originally started here, around in the Pacific area, where

78
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:53,040
Guatemala and come together. This guy's an Olmec too. Here, he looks very Egyptian. He appears to

79
00:09:53,040 --> 00:10:01,440
have a false beard. He's wearing a headdress that's kind of Egyptian. This guy's an Olmec. In fact,

80
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:09,800
everything that they used to ascribe to the Mayans, they now ascribe to the Olmecs. That's the number

81
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:17,960
system, the hieroglyphs, the ball game. He's holding a rubber ball here. Soccer, football, it originated

82
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:25,920
with the Olmecs. How about that? By the way, the Olmecs typically are said to go back to about 1300 BC,

83
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:33,320
so over 3000 years ago, at least, for the Olmecs. Here's a chart at Coma Calco, one of the Olmec

84
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:41,000
capitals. All these guys are Olmecs. Here's what they look like. They're weird elongated heads. This

85
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:47,520
guy down here looks very Chinese. Weird, weird guys. They were obsessed with jade as well. And to

86
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:54,360
the Olmecs and Mayans, as well as the Chinese, jade was the most valuable of all the commodities. In

87
00:10:55,000 --> 00:11:03,120
fact, these guys, these figurines of Olmecs, they're made of jade. And you can see again what these

88
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:10,200
guys look like. Long hair, kind of oriental sort of eyes in a way. Mainstream archaeologists are

89
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:17,320
saying, well, these guys are just American Indians. They don't have any connection with Africa or

90
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:26,680
Pacific or any place like that. Well, the Egyptians also did this cranial binding too, and creating

91
00:11:26,680 --> 00:11:33,080
the elongated craniums. This is Meritaten, who was one of the daughters of Akhenaten and Nefertiti,

92
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:41,440
and she too is basically a conehead with cranial deformation. Tutankhamun, he's also a conehead.

93
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:51,560
He has a deformed cranium as well. This is a statue from his tomb. And this is what he looked like.

94
00:11:51,560 --> 00:11:56,080
You can get a better, this is also Tutankhamun, you get a better idea of what his head was.

95
00:11:56,080 --> 00:12:05,920
Also in Tutankhamun's tomb, by the way, was a trunk of boomerangs. Not just one boomerang,

96
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:13,000
he was a boomerang nut. And a whole trunk of boomerangs. You think of boomerangs as,

97
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:17,760
you know, that's some Australian, Aboriginal thing. Well, the Egyptians hunted with boomerangs.

98
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:22,380
Boomerangs have been found all over the world. And boomerangs are avenues in the American

99
00:12:22,380 --> 00:12:28,600
Southwest and Mexico as well. If you go to the Mexico City Museum, you'll see boomerangs. This

100
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:35,640
whole thing of cranial deformation was worldwide. Kurds in Northern Iraq were still doing this,

101
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:41,360
right up in the 1960s. Pacific Islands like Vanuatu, they were also doing this,

102
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:48,240
right up until modern times. This is in the Belgian Congo. This is a photograph taken in the 1920s.

103
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:58,360
This kid, his head is bound. He's gonna be a conehead when he grows up. And a weird looking one

104
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:10,840
too. You wonder what happened to him. So you go south now, south of, into Central America,

105
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:16,640
to Costa Rica. And one of the weird things there are these round granite balls. And some of them

106
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:24,840
are huge. They're big. They're big. They're perfectly spherical granite. Stone masons tell

107
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:30,800
me today that one of the hardest things to make is a perfect round ball. Just to take your hammer

108
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:35,560
and chisel. To make a perfectly round one is almost impossible. And these things are perfectly

109
00:13:35,560 --> 00:13:42,840
round. They don't know where they came from. They just find them in the jungles and stuff.

110
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:49,240
On the west coast, this is where they find these. And there's an island right over here too. They

111
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:58,920
It's like some big wave or something hit Costa Rica and washed these big stone balls up into this

112
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:04,760
part of Costa Rica. Panama is right here. So they're right along the border with Panama.

113
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:13,880
The natives in Costa Rica took some of the small balls like this, a few feet in diameter. And

114
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:19,320
I mean, one thing about these giant megalithic marbles is that, yeah, you can move them kind of easily,

115
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:24,400
at least a little bit, you know, because they're easy to roll. So, you know, people would sort of

116
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:30,720
put them in their burial, you know, side of the chief or something. But no one has any idea,

117
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:39,240
like, what these things are for. But there are a few ideas. In our magazine, World Explorer,

118
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:46,600
this is one of the unusual little articles we had in there. A guy sent this to me. When they were building

119
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:53,640
the Los Angeles trolley through Santa Monica, they used this steam shovel. They had to take out this

120
00:14:53,640 --> 00:15:00,920
hill right there in Los Angeles because, you know, the trolley had to have pretty flat grade. And

121
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:09,080
what they found were all these stone balls inside this hill. How about that? And this was 1920,

122
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:13,560
and the ones in Costa Rica weren't even really known yet. Well, they, you know,

123
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:20,400
geologists came in and they went, oh, well, that's dinosaur eggs, you know. So I've been,

124
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:25,920
I've been actually, in the last few years, gotten really fascinated with giant megalithic

125
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:31,560
stone balls. There's some in Malta. There's, I just saw one, one of the books downstairs was

126
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:38,240
in Sardinia. I'm always interested in these things. And some are supposedly natural. Others are,

127
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:48,840
are man-made, definitely. All right, so now we're headed into the Pacific Ocean, and this is a round

128
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:55,520
stone ball on Easter Island. How about that? So yeah, they have these round stone balls on Easter

129
00:15:55,520 --> 00:16:01,880
Island. And in fact, supposedly, the first time I went there, I didn't realize this. It wasn't

130
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:07,280
until my second time to Easter Island that people had told me, and I began researching, they said,

131
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:13,440
well, the most sacred thing of all on Easter Island is this round ball right here. And it's

132
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:21,920
in a little remote area of the north coast of Easter Island. There's a little mini village

133
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:30,000
there, but it's just this ball. And in fact, this, this wall around it is basically a wall to contain

134
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:36,960
this thing. And I mean, this is only, it's about three feet or so in diameter. The ones in Costa

135
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:43,440
Rica are a lot bigger. But I thought it was curious that the mythology on Easter Island is that this

136
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:50,080
round stone is the most sacred thing. And why? No one knows, but there's something magical about it,

137
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:56,560
they say. There's not any of the stone heads right near that ball, but these stone heads are found

138
00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:05,440
all over Easter Island, crater. They're often buried deep up to their chest or even, but, but often,

139
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:10,480
usually about half of these statues is still underground. And archaeologists don't really

140
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:17,520
explain that very well because, you know, for them to build up 20 feet of ground soil around them

141
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:23,520
would show that they're really, really old. But that's not what archaeologists say. They're only,

142
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:31,360
again, made supposedly a few hundred years after the Spanish and the Dutch got there. But here you can see this guy,

143
00:17:31,360 --> 00:17:37,440
I mean, he's buried up to his chin here. I mean, there's, there's a whole other body right down to the

144
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:44,080
waist, twice as big as this, below ground. And it's not like the Easter Islanders would have, like,

145
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:50,800
purposely buried these guys. No. They're around the crater. Here you can see these guys, like this guy,

146
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:56,240
this one over. I mean, there's another 30 feet underneath these guys. They don't have feet.

147
00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:03,680
According to, this is the big quarry, Arana or Araku. According to the legends on Easter Island,

148
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:09,520
these things, by the way, they're cone heads too. They have the flat heads and stuff like that. These

149
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:16,640
guys also had some kind of, their statues are depicting cranial deformation. As you go up,

150
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:24,320
these cut stone stairs into solid rock into the crater, which is the quarry on Easter Island,

151
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:30,160
it's kind of in the, sort of in the middle of the island, down to one side. What you have is this

152
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:37,360
crater lake right here. And it, and it has in it to toro reeds, the same reeds that are at Lake

153
00:18:37,360 --> 00:18:43,040
Titicaca. These are the reeds they built the reed ships out of. These are the same reeds that

154
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:51,040
Thor Heyerdahl built his ships out of. And as you go in there, here's the big quarry. This is where

155
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:57,520
they really cut all the stone heads and stuff like that. Here's the reed lake here. But all in this

156
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:03,920
area too are more of these stone heads. And they're all looking down into, here they are, they're all

157
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:09,600
looking and they're all buried. But they cut them in the quarry, they moved them here, and they're

158
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:14,720
looking down into the lake. It's kind of like a natural amphitheater or something like that.

159
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:23,440
Up in this area too, there are seven stone seats supposedly. These elders or masters or somebody,

160
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:30,400
they sat up here. But here are these stone statues, which never really went very far. They stayed

161
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:38,080
all around the quarry. Here's one of the largest stone statues still in the quarry. This one was

162
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:42,320
not removed. It's still sitting there. It's one of the largest of the statues. Some of these things

163
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:49,920
are are 100 feet high. This one was actually discovered by Thor Heyerdahl in Easter Island.

164
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:56,080
And he is, this is a unique statue because he's in an unusual kneeling position known as Quizuo.

165
00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:04,720
This is a Shang Chinese dynasty statue from the Shang dynasty. It was about also 1300 BC.

166
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:11,680
And the Quizuo position is this unusual position of being on your knees with your hands on your

167
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:18,320
knees and your head forward. Here's an Egyptian statue in the Quizuo position. This is your

168
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:24,560
kneeling forward, your hands are on your knees, and it's a kind of a, it's an unusual position.

169
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:32,000
One that has to do with with some kind of subjugation to a ruler. You get down in front of the king,

170
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:38,000
you're on your knees, put your head forward, and you put your hands on your knees. At Tiwanaku,

171
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:44,400
also statues were found like this with their hands on their knees. They're kneeling down.

172
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:52,000
They're wearing turbans too here. These have been moved into the Tiwanaku Museum right now.

173
00:20:52,720 --> 00:21:01,200
The Olmecs as well. Many of the statues, the Olmecs, are in this curious Quizuo kneeling position.

174
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:08,560
This guy has this top head on him, and that's what the Easter Island statues had that too,

175
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:15,600
a red top knot. They were wearing these red hats. This is a small statue from Harappa in the Indus

176
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:23,040
Valley. He too is in this unusual kneeling Quizuo position. Very unusual and distinctive.

177
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:27,200
Again, mainstream archaeologists are saying, oh no, no connection here.

178
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:34,560
Rongo writing, which is the writing on Easter Island. Here's this remote island.

179
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:41,120
Easter Island is one of the remotest islands in the world. Hawaii is also quite remote, and they

180
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:46,240
supposedly developed their own language. It's written as the ox ploughed with what they call

181
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:52,480
Bosa Fudran writing, where each line is read left to right, and the next line right to left, left to

182
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:59,040
right. That writing, which is still undeciphered, but it's very similar to the Indus Valley writing

183
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:07,920
that you find in India and Pakistan. This is a Rongo Rongo tablet with the curious hieroglyphs.

184
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:15,440
Each line is read left to right, then right to left, left to right. Doric Greek was written like

185
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:23,600
this. Also Hittite. The Hittites were some of the people who were mining some of the

186
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:32,720
copper up in northern Michigan. This is Hittite writing here, and early Hittite writing was a

187
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:39,120
hieroglyphic writing like Egyptian, and it would be left to right, right to left, or up and down,

188
00:22:39,120 --> 00:22:46,320
and then up down. This is a statue on Easter Island, too. Very curious statue, very unlike the other

189
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:55,200
ones, with breasts. Also weird, elongated skull. This is a stone statue, supposedly depicting

190
00:22:55,200 --> 00:23:01,840
maybe what somebody actually looked like. It had quite the unusual cone head, I would say.

191
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:09,680
Other statues on Easter Island were, according to the legends, they were placed around the edge of the

192
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:23,200
island, looking into the interior of the island. So what they did was, they took some of the statues

193
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:29,200
and they moved them around the island, and they faced them inward, and they put eyes in the islands.

194
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:39,040
So they had these inlaid eyes, and according to the legend that they say, and this is in the

195
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:48,000
tourist brochures at Easter Island, they claim that Easter Island was part of another land. They

196
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:55,040
call Hiva, H-I-V-A, but Hiva disappeared beneath the waves of the Pacific Ocean.

197
00:23:55,040 --> 00:24:04,880
But Easter Island was the fulcrum, and it stayed above the water. And today, Easter Island is a small triangular

198
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:14,000
island. And so what they did was, they took these statues and they placed them all around the

199
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:20,960
outside of the island, facing inward, with these eyes, and this is what they say, that this power

200
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:30,960
came out of their eyes, called mana. And in fact, mana is like a Sanskrit word, and it means occult power, and the power came out of the eyes of these statues,

201
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:40,960
this is what they say, and it protected the island and kept it from sinking beneath the waves. This is a very well-known

202
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:48,960
popular legend on Easter Island. What happened later, in fact, there was a war between the long ears and the short ears, they say, on Easter Island.

203
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:58,960
It's another thing with the Easter Island statues, they have very, very long earlobes, quite extended, and you see this Buddha,

204
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:06,960
depictions of Buddha, he also has very big earlobes. Kind of an interesting thing to look at, is that the

205
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:16,960
statues and things, well they have these really big earlobes, Easter Island statues have that. You can see how some of the statues are so huge.

206
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:24,960
Now according to the islanders, these statues walked around the island themselves, that's what they say, although they didn't have feet.

207
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:32,960
Some of them, here's the guy who's in the kuzuo position here, kneeling, he's a unique statue, there's only one statue on Easter Island like that.

208
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:42,960
You can see too, how these things are so buried. Guy standing, this is part of Thor Heyerdahl's expeditions, and in fact even a boat is drawn on this chest down here.

209
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:52,960
But you have to wonder, why is there so much soil built up around it? Archaeologists are saying, oh these statues have only been here a few hundred years before the Spanish got there.

210
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:58,960
But in my mind it seems like they've been there for thousands of years. How they moved these statues around, they don't know.

211
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:08,960
The islanders say that they walked where they went. So when you go to Easter Island, they say, well yeah, they built these cradles and this kind of a small statue,

212
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:18,960
and they rocked it around, you know, and it's a very interesting thing to look at. And so they're going to build these cradles, and they're going to build these cradles,

213
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:25,960
and they built this small statue, and they rocked it around, you know, and eventually they got it somewhere and they stood it up.

214
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:36,960
Although it would make a lot more sense if they really walked these statues upright, like a refrigerator that you might walk around.

215
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:44,960
And although according to them, they honestly believe that the statues themselves actually walked. And in fact, here's a weird thing.

216
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:54,960
The statues could only walk in a clockwise manner around the island. Here's where the crater is over here, where they're made, this area.

217
00:26:54,960 --> 00:27:00,960
But they had to walk. So according to Easter Islanders, this is weird. There's this magnetic field right around here.

218
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:11,960
In fact, Xhaka Stone's son, Philippe, had an ultralight on the boat, the Calypso, and they told him, they said,

219
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:16,960
Well, if you're going to fly your ultralight around Easter Island, don't stay away from this volcano over here.

220
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:24,960
They said, don't fly over there. And because there's this anomalous magnetic field, and in fact, compasses won't work right on Easter Island.

221
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:29,960
They won't point north. They'll point to this thing right here.

222
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:35,960
Philippe Cousteau, it totally ignored them, jumped in his ultralight, took off, flew around this mountain.

223
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:41,960
The instruments in his ultralight went crazy. He crashed and was almost killed.

224
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:46,960
And they had to medivac him to Santiago, to the hospital, to save his life.

225
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:54,960
So it's kind of a curious thing that he, that supposedly, and I get into this in my book about lost cities and ancient Lemurian in the Pacific.

226
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:59,960
Like, there are statues around this part of the coast, but here's the quarry.

227
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:07,960
But the Easter Islanders are saying, oh, well, for a statue, couldn't go from here to over there, that short distance.

228
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:16,960
According to them, the statue had to walk around this magnetic thing here and come like this.

229
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,960
That's what they say.

230
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:26,960
There's also where supposedly some of the statues were up here on these cliffs, would have been very difficult to get them up there.

231
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,960
So you've got the huge lichen patches on the statues.

232
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:38,960
I mean, today mainstream archaeologists are basically saying, well, you just had some Polynesians who got to this island.

233
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:43,960
They got bored, so they started, they invented the writing.

234
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:48,960
They built these all these giant statues, just something to do.

235
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:54,960
But now here you'll see this is one of the ruins on Easter Island.

236
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:56,960
It's called Vanapu.

237
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,960
It is like the buildings in Peru.

238
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:02,960
And you see the curved stone walls.

239
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,960
You see the perfect fitting together.

240
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:07,960
You see notched stones.

241
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:09,960
It's notched over here.

242
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:11,960
It was kind of a unique platform.

243
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,960
But here you really see, and a lot of archaeologists pointed this out,

244
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:22,960
what this building in Easter Island is identical type of construction that you see in Peru.

245
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:24,960
And that's significant.

246
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,960
I mean, there really is a connection there.

247
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,960
How they can doubt it is beyond me, but they do.

248
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:37,960
And they continue to maintain that Easter Island and South America have no connection.

249
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:44,960
Francis Mazier, he was a French archaeologist, and he lived in Easter Island for the 60s.

250
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:46,960
And he had an unusual thing.

251
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:51,960
Because Easter Island was on this lost continent, this lost land called Hiva,

252
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:56,960
he proposed, and he was a pretty mainstream archaeologist in a way,

253
00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:01,960
he proposed that there was this mountain ridge right here going north,

254
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,960
and that this was all land right here.

255
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:09,960
You know, and even at some point during the Polynesian occupation,

256
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:11,960
and it sank into the ocean.

257
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:15,960
If you do look at underwater relief maps of this area of the Pacific,

258
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:20,960
you'll see that there is a big submarine ridge here, just like he's got.

259
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:27,960
And that, in theory, yeah, with certain earth movements, could be above water.

260
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:28,960
This is James Churchward.

261
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:30,960
He wrote the Lost Condit of Moo books.

262
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:32,960
He was a British colonel.

263
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:37,960
He was sent to India in the late 1800s.

264
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:39,960
He became a mystic.

265
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:47,960
He said that he was taught by this Rishi in India who basically told him about,

266
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:53,960
you know, ancient civilizations and around India and the Indian Ocean and in the Pacific.

267
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:59,960
And he was sent by this Rishi, as he once he retired from the British Army,

268
00:30:59,960 --> 00:31:04,960
to go out into the Pacific and look for evidence for Moo.

269
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:05,960
And he did that.

270
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:09,960
And he, kind of like Eric Von Donakin, who sort of found, you know,

271
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:14,960
every painting and cave painting was extraterrestrial,

272
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:18,960
Churchward would go out and he would find writing of Moo, you know,

273
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:20,960
just about everywhere he went.

274
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:21,960
But he was a pretty cool guy.

275
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:26,960
And he was quite wealthy to travel through the Pacific back then,

276
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:28,960
the late 1800s, turn of the century.

277
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:29,960
Very expensive.

278
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,960
I mean, he was a wealthy guy, so he could do all this.

279
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:37,960
And in fact, he was one of the inventors of stainless steel.

280
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:45,960
He, in his later lives, he lived, his later life, he lived in New York and around Philadelphia.

281
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:53,960
And Bethlehem Steel had to pay him royalties on stainless steel, molybdenum steel, they call it.

282
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:57,960
And he had invented this right around World War I.

283
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,960
But to avoid paying him royalties,

284
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:06,960
they supposedly concocted a bad accident for him where molten steel was to be poured on him

285
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:11,960
while he was touring the steel plant.

286
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,960
And then he figured they were trying to kill him at that point.

287
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,960
He did survive and got away from it.

288
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:21,960
So Churchward himself, I mean, he had a lot of kind of oddball ideas.

289
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:23,960
A lot of them came from India.

290
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:28,960
He believed that, yeah, there was this continent of Moo in the Pacific.

291
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:33,960
The South America was this Amazonian sea like this.

292
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:35,960
Atlantis was in the Atlantic.

293
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:39,960
He thought people migrated all over the world.

294
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:44,960
He also came up with the idea of pole shifts, that the Earth, that ice builds up the poles,

295
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:49,960
and the Earth, according to him, would occasionally shift forward.

296
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:55,960
And this would be devastating cataclysms all over the world.

297
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,960
Continental plates would rise and fall.

298
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:00,960
Every volcano would go off.

299
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:02,960
There would be massive earthquakes.

300
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,960
Huge tidal waves would wash over continents.

301
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:10,960
Mammoths are flash frozen in Siberia, that kind of a thing.

302
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,960
Other groups, too, thought that there was these continents in the Pacific,

303
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:15,960
the LeBriyan Fellowship.

304
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:22,960
They actually believed that this lost con in the Pacific took in part of California and Australia.

305
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:26,960
And in fact, I mean, there's some unusual things there, where you have these ray types,

306
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:32,960
these giant birds like the moa, ostriches, the rias and stuff like that,

307
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:37,960
that these giant flightless birds somehow originated on some continent.

308
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:42,960
By the way, too, marsupials are basically known to be in Australia,

309
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,960
but North America does have a marsupial, too.

310
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:50,960
We have marsupial possums in North America like in Australia.

311
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:55,960
So yeah, there's kind of, for all marsupials,

312
00:33:55,960 --> 00:34:00,960
there is something that corresponds with it in North and South America.

313
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,960
So yeah, even zoologists, biologists are saying,

314
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:09,960
yeah, there's some kind of evidence for some pan-Pacific kind of land bridge and stuff like that.

315
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:15,960
Churchward also said that ancient Indian records talked about ancient Ceylon,

316
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:22,960
and he thought the Maldives, that there was a sunken land to the south of India.

317
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,960
Now Vedic scholars are more and more saying exactly that.

318
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:32,960
And in the last few years, these guys in India, mainly the Tamil guys,

319
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:38,960
they're saying, yeah, there was this continent that went out, Sri Lanka was all part of it.

320
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:44,960
Down here, the submerged Tamil Nadu, Pandyan Kingdom,

321
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:51,960
and the ancient Mahabharata, these really, really ancient Indian texts are talking about that.

322
00:34:51,960 --> 00:35:00,960
And in fact, recently satellite photos of southern India and Sri Lanka show what they call Rama's causeway.

323
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:05,960
And this thing is underwater now, but what satellite photos are showing

324
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:13,960
is that, yeah, there was like a big, long, and in ancient India, they say there was man-made

325
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:18,960
that connected southern India and Sri Lanka.

326
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:23,960
Here you can see it. Now this is underwater right now, but yeah, it's like there was

327
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:30,960
some kind of road or something like that, and it's now about 20, 30 feet underwater.

328
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:34,960
This would be a lot like what you have to Key West.

329
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:39,960
If you go to Florida today, you can drive along something like this

330
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:44,960
that's man-made that links all of these islands out to Key West.

331
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:51,960
Throughout Southeast Asia and Indonesia, they say that Indonesia and all this area would have been connected together.

332
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:58,960
A lot of these areas were Hindu originally, going back thousands and thousands of years.

333
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:05,960
But at places like Angkor Wat in Cambodia, what they did was they re-carved these Hindu temples

334
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:10,960
into Buddhist temples, which is what you see in Cambodia and other areas.

335
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:14,960
In Cambodia as well, you see there's megalithic construction there.

336
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:19,960
And you see the keystone cuts here, too, at Angkor Wat,

337
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:23,960
or the same kind of keystone cuts that you see in Etiwanako.

338
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:27,960
You see them in Egypt, also in Greece.

339
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:32,960
These are keystone cuts. These are like the Egyptian ones where you have the hourglasses.

340
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:40,960
This is a really unusual way of fitting stones together, and then pouring molten metals into it.

341
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:45,960
When the Japanese archaeologists discovered these keystone cuts and metal clamps at Angkor Wat,

342
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:49,960
they also thought this was really important.

343
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:53,960
And they're now thinking that Angkor Wat is much older than they've currently said.

344
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:59,960
Angkor Wat, too, is only just a few hundred years before the French colonization.

345
00:36:59,960 --> 00:37:06,960
This is a site called Cam, and Mai Son, they call it in Vietnam.

346
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:10,960
It's also a megalithic stone site. It's near Da Nang.

347
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:15,960
And you have also keystone cuts there, and the things.

348
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:21,960
And these guys, Cam, these were called the Cam people. Many of them also looked very African.

349
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:24,960
Cam was the ancient word for Egypt.

350
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,960
Here, this is at Cam in Vietnam.

351
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:36,960
Here you see the same kind of keystone cuts that you see at Etiwanako, 12,000 feet in the Andes.

352
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:40,960
More keystone cuts here in Cam in Vietnam.

353
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:44,960
In fact, I showed these to our guide. I was just there in December.

354
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:48,960
And we had our tour guide take us around the ruins, and I showed him these.

355
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:52,960
And he says, I say, hey, did you see these keystone cuts that you've got here?

356
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,960
And he had never seen them before, he said.

357
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:59,960
I mean, here I was showing my guide, you know, stuff about his own ruins.

358
00:37:59,960 --> 00:38:01,960
He was supposed to be showing me.

359
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:06,960
There's another island right by, Panapé. It also has giant walls, like this guy.

360
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,960
It's also built out of basalt. This is on Kosrai Island.

361
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:12,960
It's not as extensive as Namadal, but it's still pretty big.

362
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:19,960
At Saipan, too. Saipan, which is north of all this area, north of Guam.

363
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,960
Also huge standing stones like this.

364
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:27,960
Apparently there were giant temples and stuff like that in this area.

365
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:33,960
And even today, these are pretty remote islands, although you're getting kind of closer to Japan with all this.

366
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:39,960
The concept of the world grid and certain vortex areas and power points around the world.

367
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:41,960
Usually this is based on the Great Pyramid.

368
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:50,960
Panapé is one of these islands where we have that on this dodecahedron world grid.

369
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:52,960
You have that.

370
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:58,960
There's also, you have these underwater ruins in Yonaguni near Japan.

371
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:03,960
These look a lot like stuff that's in South America.

372
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:08,960
Blocks underwater. I haven't actually been diving here, I have to admit.

373
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:12,960
But this is what this looked like, these structures.

374
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:18,960
I know Graham Hancock has been here, and the whole area is quite interesting.

375
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:25,960
But Polynesians themselves, they claim that they're from this special place called Hawaiki.

376
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:27,960
Not Hawaii, but Hawaiki.

377
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:34,960
Like Hiva on Easter Island, Hawaiki is this mythical lost land that they're from.

378
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:38,960
And they don't know where it is. It's underwater now, they're claiming.

379
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:44,960
The archaeologists and Polynesians, they're always looking for Hawaiki.

380
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:49,960
And many people, you know, they sometimes think it's Reitea.

381
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:53,960
If you go to Samoa, they'll tell you Hawaiki's in Samoa.

382
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:57,960
Others will say that Hawaiki is under the water.

383
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:02,960
Then in Samoa was this guy. He was the Tuimanua of Samoa.

384
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:07,960
He was said, and today this is part of American Samoa, south of Hawaii,

385
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:12,960
he was said to be able to fly, and he was the emperor of the entire Pacific.

386
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:19,960
Although the island he lived on was this really small island with obsidian mines in American Samoa.

387
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:24,960
So that's it for the megaliths of the Pacific. So thanks for inviting me. I appreciate it.

388
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:29,960
Okay.

389
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:59,960
Thank you.

390
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:29,960
Thank you.
